... anonymity and fungibility is the the raison d'etre of cryptocurrency.

... I want to emphasize again that just saying fungibility is probably enough, when talking to people about Monero.

IMHO the "anonymity" element is still too polarizing and can be used too much as a red herring argument to try and discredit the value of TRUE DIGITAL CASH as "something that's only good for criminals pedophiles and terrorists".

So, hey! Let's not even give 'em that opening anymore, am I right?

If you have full true fungibility then you're gonna get anonymity too, basically just by default. Ya can't have it any other way really, even if someone doesn't particularly care, or thinks they don't necessarily WANT anonymity for whatever incorrect reason they believe in.

Ya just have to take the "good" (fungible/anonymous) with the "bad" (anonymous/fungible) LOL

When talking about what makes something an honest-to-god actual "currency" it's not really possible to argue *against* having fungibility... not at least without looking stupid.

So, to me... that's enough. IMHO we should not even bother trying to "sell" anon as a good thing any more. People either already KNOW that, or they won't be convinced no matter how much we try.

But the fungibility SALE is an easy slam dunk
